Renewable fuel power systems for vehicles, such as aircraft, are provided. For example, a system includes a storage tank, a reactor module, a heat exchanger unit, and a combustion engine. The storage tank is configured to store ammonia in liquid form. The reactor module is in fluid communication with the storage tank. The reactor module is configured to extract hydrogen from the ammonia, and output fuel which includes the extracted hydrogen. The heat exchanger unit is configured to heat the ammonia which flows from the storage tank to an input of the reactor module, using heat which is extracted from the fuel that is output from the reactor module. The combustion engine is configured to combust the fuel provided by the reactor module, to thereby produce mechanical power.
